Same position myself missus and two kids mate,Dont throw it in the bin anyways mate, if selling it PM me first, i know a fella in birmingham who would like to repair it.

DPF is one of those things that causes a crack of thunder when mentioned.Its a Diesel particulate filter.It fits below the manifold on all diesel engines since 2008 Internals like a honycombe filter that catches all the carbon.Newer ones are ceramic and burn the suit and carbon without fluid.But older versions use eloys fluid to ignite the carbon and clear the filter every time the sensors go out of sync.Lowers emissions and results in cheaper tax but raised back pressure.

Given the nature of this thread, and its deviation away from an introduction, going to move it to the Focus club. It should fit in nicely there

Ideal!!
